God is totally blessing my family and myself. When we took this mentorship, the numbers our family needed each month for our budget and the numbers that we would be receiving were significantly different. I told the people of FBC Acworth that if God leads us to follow Him, then He will provide for us. God honors obedience! He has shown Himself faithful over and over again-just in the past month! God has done so again today in a huge way! I don't want to give details or numbers, but God has His hand on us and I'm grateful for His blessings! It looks like we will are on the verge now of knowing our monthly needs will be met instead of running a huge deficit each month!
God didn't show us the whole picture when we made the decision to take the biggest step of faith up to this point in our lives, stepping out of our financial security and comfort zone, but we had to trust that He would provide since He was leading. He is totally doing so in a huge way!
Please know from God's Word and my testimony, that if God is leading you to do something for Him, it is likely that it won't make sense, but God honors obedience. If God is leading you to do something great for Him, it may take sacrifice and huge faith, but He honors obedience!
I don't know where I heard this, it may have been from Brett, or another pastor. Anyway, the question/statement was this: "We are willing to trust God in our death, but are we willing to trust Him with our life?"
Please pray for us as we continue preparing for the future, getting ready for the amazing things God has planned for us! Pray that we don't forget the lessons God is teaching us as He is preparing us for the future! As we grow in our relationship with the Lord, the tests and faith challenges will grow. Pray that my wife and I never get to the point that we aren't willing to trust God wherever, whenever He leads.
As I got to preach in Russia this past Sunday, God has amazing things He desires to do in and through us, but in order for Him to do those things, we must have the level of faith that changes our lives and enables us to follow Him, even when we don't know how everything will take care of itself! Matthew 6:33, the lazy, I don't feel like looking it up right now for the exact words, translation (and really close to the New Living Translation) "Seek God first and everything else will take care of itself".
No matter where you are in life, seek God! He honors obedience! Follow Him! It's a crazy, wild scary ride, but it's definately worth the thrills!
God Bless!
